Questions are default html-quoted, not structured text. If you want it to
be ST, you should add a fmt="structured-text" attribute to the question tag.

Seeing the amount of data for your FAQ entry, you should probably use <![CDATA[
]]> around your answer.

Pavlos's site is really quite experimental still, and is still under
development. In the future, there will be an official ZDP site, that will
probably use Pavlos' efforts. Your entries are best sent to the ZDP list
for inclusion into the FAQ. Martijn Faassen can tell you more about this.
